Over the last few years Milan's most talked about player has been Jesus Suso. A winger by trade Suso has been Milan's Right Winger and has been lauded as the future for Rossoneri to return to the UCL. With 7 goals and 10 assists last season Suso had an excellent season for Milan. But here I look at why Milan should sell Suso

1. INCONSISTENCY

Suso ended up with 7 goals and 10 assists last season, a remarkable feat. Something only Zlatan did in 2011/12 season. But how were these stats when spread. Suso got only 1 GOAL AND 1 ASSIST between November 6 and May 6 which means he only 4 productive months. Out of these 10 assists 3 assists came against the relegated chievo side.

In the seasons before this Suso showed similar patters of fading between November to April where he looks completely exhausted of ideas.

2. CAPITAL GAINS

Ever since Gazidis took over the role of CEO, he spoke about Capital gains i.e essentially profits made from sales of player. Suso was bought by Milan for €1M and anything we receive more than that will be a profit in the books. With his RC set at €38M it would bring in funds which could be reinvested in the market.

3. CHANGE IN POSITION

With Giampaolo preffering 4-3-1-2 there is no place for wingers and Suso gets affected the most. Naturally known to drift towards the right Suso has been shunted out to an unfamiliar position. Although he has shown promise in the last few friendly games, it could be a different ball game when he plays against Serie A defences.

4. LACK OF PACE

Giampaolos game is based on quick one touch passing and counter attacking the opponent and catching them off guard. Suso, who is an expert at crossing and is a good passer lacks speed like modern wingers. This could affect the overall game and tactics of the team

Giampaolo in his press conference spoke about how he is impressed with Suso but a meeting has been scheduled with Suso's agent, Alessandro Lucci. Milan may sell him.

Milan have spent €90m this summer on Theo Hernández, Rade Krunić, Rafael Leão, Ismaël Bennacer and Léo Duarte. Each of them has signed a five-year deal so their total amortized weight on this year's balance sheet is €18m - all already covered by the Cutrone sale to Wolves.

According to what has been reported by Tuttosport, AC Milan are continuing to search for new additions this summer and their latest idea is of River Plate's 23-year-old Argentine defender Lucas Martinez. Milan have sent scouts to watch several players and Martinez is reportedly just one of them. In fact, two Rossoneri scouts were spotted at the Copa Libertadores match between River Plate and Cruzeiro; where Martinez was said to be the topic of real interest.

- Agent of Angel Correa, Augustin Jimenez should fly to Milan tomorrow. The player's representative will attempt to unblock the negotiations between Milan and Atletico Madrid.

[Sky Sport]

- The arrival of Angel Correa will be independent of Suso's future. The Argentinean will play as a second striker, not a trequartista. The arrival of the 24-year-old would mean selling Andre Silva or Samu Castillejo.

Marco Giampaolo was determined to sign Ismael Bennacer this summer in order to build a ‘fantasy’ midfield, a report claims.

The Algeria international was recently crowned Player of the Tournament at the Africa Cup of Nations – which his country won – before completing a move to Milan for €16m plus bonuses.

The former Empoli man then went on holiday but is now ready to start his new adventure with the Rossoneri and will train for the first time at Milanello on Wednesday.

As per Wednesday’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marco Giampaolo made it clear from the start that he wanted to sign Bennacer.

This is due to the fact that he is a player who thinks vertically (moving the ball forward) and develops games quickly, and provides good technical ability.

In addition, the scoring opportunities for Piatek will also increase, with the Poland international appearing a little off the pace in pre-season so far.

It is not all about just Bennacer though, as Giampaolo is also relying on his midfield partners – such as Paquetà, Suso and perhaps even Correa – to provide what he needs for his system to work perfectly.

Milan look set to resist offers for Suso and Franck Kessie, claim Sky Sport Italia, on the orders of Coach Marco Giampaolo. According to the latest reports, the Spaniard and Ivory Coast international are now part of Giampaolo’s plans for the season ahead. They did enough in training and recent friendlies to convince the Coach and club that they should remain.

Suso has been repeatedly linked with a move abroad to Lyon, Sevilla or within Serie A to Roma. Kessie was on the verge of a transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers before the Premier League transfer deadline, but turned it down.

Milan won't lower price of Andre Silva Milan have no intentions of discounting the price of their 23-year-old Portuguese striker André Silva. Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent, is hard at work to find a new club for Silva, who is valued at €25m by the Rossoneri. The striker arrived from Porto in 2017, but never fully settled at Milan and spent last season on loan with Sevilla, where he scored seven goals in his first seven games, before only managing to score another two for the rest of the season.

Roberto Donadoni, a former Rossoneri player, spoke to La Stampa about Marco Giampaolo's new Milan: "I spent most of my career as a Rossoneri, but many years have passed, I lost the pulse of the situation. I hope that Milan come back to play Milan and I believe that this year there is a will to hunt down big goals. Giampaolo? He can do well ".

Stefano De Grandis, speaking at SkySport24, spoke thus of Suso and his new role as playmaker: "I trust Giampaolo. If a month ago they asked me for an opinion on the possibility of seeing Suso behind the tips I would have said no because he has always hurt in that role. But I adore Giampaolo and if he said that Suso is a champion and if he wants to keep it then it means he is doing well in that position. "
